#but on multiple forms of media

[fairylightsandthings]

I'm not going to apologize for the media parkour or emotional whiplash of my reblogs. The tism is tisming for multiple things at once.

#bee buzzes #the hyperfixation is fixating #but on multiple forms of media #the other day i told my gf like “what about a 911xTWD Crossover” and have had no peace since #also #A Teen Wolfx911 crossover and a fucking Teen WolfxTWD Crossover #*shoves all my fixations into one crossover rp* #i have problems #ANYWAY #Rick Grimes and Derek Hale have a chokehold on me in ways i can't explain #ISAAC LAHEY WOULD GET ALONG SO WELL WITH BUCK AND EDDIE #let them be besties in my mind #*sprinkles in Godzilla and Mothra for funsies* #their in love your honor #i wanted to change my name to Mothra for the longest time till i settled on Bee #we'd be bug besties #i love her and her spikey legs #DID YOU GUYS SEE WHEN MOTHRA WAS A FUCKING FISH????? #Rebirth of Mothra movies go hard

The Green brothers are doing effective altruism better than maybe 95% of people who identify online as effective altruists.

#I know it's cringe to be into vlogbrothers in 2024 but I'm incredibly impressed by JG's swerve into fighting global health inequities #and last week's news about their commitment to funding TB prevention was really cool #also I have a lot of respect for creators who seem able to continue to build online communities focused around optimism and trying #to do good in the world in a way that seems genuine--because I've realized how much intentional effort that must take #when social media writ large seems to skew towards either reactionaries or doom and gloom #VB was formed in an era where everyone had a lot more earnest hope in the potential of the internet and (with multiple evolutions) #they've kept going through a seismic change in the way we relate to social media and the creator economy. it's interesting #also I think it's interesting JG is doing his best work 10+ years out from his peak fame. life lesson there maybe

You say Leo’s and usagi (Miyamoto a) personality’s class, I’m genuinely wondering what points you have? (I think I worded that right) I love seeing other people’s thoughts on characters it helps me kinda get a full understanding on the characters themselves as I struggle with understanding people or characters 🙈

ok now this is a fun ask

so (mainly rambling abt my rise interpretation) theyre both incredibly similar yet were raised in different environments so theyre kind of 2 sides of the same coin, able to see their own flaws in the other which pisses them off a lot at first

opposites attract eachother all that, samurai and ninja already had a rivalry so theyre kinda the representation of that

in my version theres also the aspect of performing involved, how leo sees it as something admirable and glorifies it but usagi grows to hate it and sees it as a chore in his life (whole deal with big mama)

but at the end of the day they have similar ideals and goals, just different ways of approaching them. they both care a lot and will fight tooth and nail to protect, making it very fun to have them work either against or with eachother

also i really like how they kinda break their own character conventions, leo is very much an extrovert and incredibly brash but is also surprisingly smart. hes great at planning ahead and most importantly follow the plan by being unpredictable to his enemies

usagi on the other side is more introverted and reserved (in theory) but is also like, incredibly impusive, if you read the comics he will constantly improvise and just throw himself at situations. his whole deal is being unpredictable from his training but hes just straight up a menace (almost killed his childhood best friend at age 7 or so with a rock caine and able style)

theyre both stupid and smart at the same time which gives you a lot to work with as they can kinda exchange both roles seamlessly

#pada asks #sorry for uncomprehensible ramble #ofc this is my own interpretation so i recommend looking at multiple ones to form a full opinion #or to read source media and try to make ur own #anyways hope this helps a bit

I hate to ask but who is hua Chang

Hua Cheng is the deuterantagonist of the Chinese web novel Heaven Official's Blessing! It's a historical fantasy novel about gods and ghosts and cultivators (xianxia) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. It's also a gay romance (danmei). The main themes are destiny, love, and what it means to be a good person. It has a comic version (manhua) and one-soon-to-be-two seasons of animation (donghua).

He's an 800+ year old ghost who has a sentient sword made from his own dismembered eye, runs a city, turns his enemies into blood rain, creates silver wraith butterflies and has been devotedly worshiping/pining after his god, Xie Lian, his entire life. This book is the longest hyperfixation I have ever had. So I think it's pretty good (understatement of the century).

I can and have written essay length rants about him but here is a paragraph i wrote a while back about my favorite things about him, to sum up:

His gender probably. The way he looked fate in the eyes and said “fuck you, old man” and built a highly successful life of his own. How he is so fucked up but still hyper-competent. How all his strength comes from love. How his devotion changed as he grew up but never wavered. The way he is kind but not nice. His infodump swag.

#and thousands of words of fic! #eurghhhhhghghg hes so. the character fucking ever. #me reading tgcf for the first time and seeing an edgy gay-longing complex character with a neat visual design : Oh No #his full title is Crimson Rain Sought Flower because once when he was making it rain blood (as you do) he sheltered a flower. #also he has multiple forms. for most of the beginning of the story he appears as a teenager with both eyes #this is as brief an explanation as i can give you. i am showing SO much restraint. #i had to edit this post for conciseness an embarrassing amount. the tags too. #is the multiple social media accounts themed after him and constant drawing giving away that i like him #important note: i do not kin him and i do not simp for him #i am a xie lian and wei wuxian kin. if this tells you something about my mental health no it doesnt im just a silly guy #tgcf #not art #hua cheng

gonna snap one day and run through the halls of media critique screaming A PLOTHOLE IS NOT WHEN THERE IS AN EASILY EXTRAPOLATED AND OBVIOUS ANSWER TO A QUESTION THAT THE WRITERS DID NOT THINK EVEN NEEDED TO BE EXPLAINED OUT LOUD BECAUSE THEY EXPECTED YOU TO USE YOUR BRAIN JUST A L I T T L E

#i swear to god this is going to make me lose my mind #“um they didn’t show us how this character who has access to multiple forms of transportation travelled a short distance to get to a place” #motherfucker unless there’s a reason they shouldn’t be able to travel that’s not a plothole #you’re being a nitpicky cinemasins trained dumbass who actively seeks to make stories worse??? STOP IT #don’t even get me started on how another lane here is people who just don’t pay attention to media #and then go “well how could i be expected to remember things in a story they should simply reexplain everything to me every single episode” #fuck ooooooooffffff #today’s annoyance brought to you by “why isn’t taissa at her job being a state senator” (because she hasn’t been sworn in yet ftlog) #and “how could people arrive at the same destination at roughly the same time after leaving at different times???” #when the answer is TWO OF THEM DROVE FROM OHIO TO UPSTATE NY AND THE OTHER FROM JERSEY #ONE DRIVE TOOK LONGER! BECAUSE OHIO IS FARTHER AWAY? LITERALLY THIS IS HOW GEOGRAPHY WORKS

Is the media you're criticizing bad, or do you just have very narrow metrics for evaluating storytelling?

#some of yall will see a multimedia story and decide its bad because getting the full story requires engaging in multiple forms of media

So I'm moving across the country in the next coming weeks which has brought me to downsizing my craft bins and going through my huge collection of paints and wool and fabrics. If you don't hear back from me assume I drowned in embroidery suppplies.

#tai talks #im living my best life as a person who creates using multiple medias and forms but at what cost. #WHY DO I HAVE 10 EMBROIDERY HOOPS. I DONT NEED THAT MANY. #not to mention my collection of patches i still have yet to sew onto my patch vests oh good lord. somebody save me

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians

#i say lesbians but i guess i mean sapphic #im just like. tired of gnawing #and of men also. sorry men in my life i love you but on god if i have to pretend one more man is butch just to get #content that isnt m/m or m/f im going to turn into a horse and run into the wilderness until im saved from the glue factory by a plucky #young woman except instead of letting her have her formative summer where she trains me and bonds w me and wins a competition w me #im going to commit horse suicide in front of her & change her life forever. just because im so tired of bland CW-marketable women kissing & #digging for scraps in a refuse bin while brushing aside 7002993829292929939292929399394 gay and het romances #m text #i will also take nonfictional lesbians if its like a story #not to be whiny on main but one of the hardest hurdles i had to jump wasnt realizing i was a lesbian. i came out to myself and to friends a #lesbian multiple times. but i would always walk it back when a friend would express doubt or a male friend would ask me out #bc i dont and especially then didnt know very many lesbians in person. and so i had to turn to examples #and all i fucking had were fictional women who liked men. or fictional lesbians who were so cleaned and sanitized and prettified #(you all know what i mean right. the 2 skinny white girls one blonde one brunette. im not crazy right) #and i would be like. i dont feel things when i look at these fictional lesbians so i guess i belong back here #(this is also bc my gender ended up being fuckier than i realized but shhhhh) #I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THESE TAGS but theyre too long and im lost. #anyway the point is if people werent so fucking weird abt fictional or onscreen lesbians maybe thered be a lot more people comfortable bein #out as lesbian #like sorry but this awful ouroboros of 'all lesbians onscreen have to be cute and sanitized' meaning that people write and believe wlw has #to be cute and pure and sanitized (OR a 'badge of honor' bc good for u u doodled two women together or had it as a background in ur fic) #meaning that therefore all portrayals of lesbianism continue to be like this. is just #and im also gonna be honest theres probably a lot of good sapphic media im just in the wrong circles to have stumbled into lol. so #yknow. personal viewer bias here #but i still like swing wildly between overly brandishing my dykeness as a badge to feel like im proving im lesbian #and like. backing up under a blanket bc i dont wanna be weird or annoying or freak people out #but if people just Saw Normal Ass Lesbians. aough. #im going to watch revolutionary girl utena one of these days even if i struggled w the writing style the first few episodes #I JUST WANNA SEE AN OLD BUTCH ONSCREEN GET SOME PUSSY. #like it also doesnt help im mostly femme4butch so seeing 2 femmes on screen is like. okay cool so what. but only femmes are 'marketable'

obsessed with the idea of super famous yjh and normal simp fanboy kdj but like. kdj is so obsessed with yjh merch that yjh has to fight for his boyfriend’s affections and his rival is the 6ft dakimakura of HIMSELF that kdj cuddles every night. even though the real yjh is literally right there next to him.

#ideal joongdok dynamic is when they're both pathetically down horrendous for each other #yjh has been crowned as the world's hottest man for 5 years in a row by multiple media outlets #but even he can't stop his tired plain salaryman boyfriend from jumping into the arms of another man (himself but in pillow form) #yjh getting deprived of kdj's kissies and then SNAPS when he finds kdj laying down a smooch on kkoma plushie yjh 999 #orv #joongdok

ouuuuuugh the Boiling Rage (/silly) i feel at knowing a character betrays the others and then watching back with the knowledge that every word they said was a veiled lie

#i hear them say One sentence that can be heard a different way with the truth and its like. oh you absolute snake. #like ohg i cannot wait for this guy to get stabbed at the end i wanna beat his ass #its entertaining i love rewatching media with New Knowledge and being able to see what i couldn't before #side note this reminded me of how in dragalia lost the prince mentions nobody has been able to form a pact with a greatwyrm since Alberius #completely forgetting that emile- HIS OWN BROTHER- is pactbound to THE WATERWYRM #and then multiple chapters later emile has an entire arc abt his family forgetting about him constantly-

guys i think this website is recreating misogyny

#i cant say specifics of what the media is or who the character is but like. if theres a character (who happens to be a woman) who is never #directly shown on-screen. but shes absolutely integral to the plot. and it's all with an extremely serious tone. maybe headcanoning them as #a silly ditzy bimbo wifey who believes in astrology and doesnt know anything about computers and her only interests are animals and plants #and taking care of her husband and cleaning the house and she also only wears bright pink and dyes her hair bright pink...... #maybe. just maybe. thats fuckin awful?!?!? 💀💀💀💀 #IM GOING INSANE HERE. LIKE GOD DAMN I THIUGHT I COULD TRUST TUMBLR USERS ABOUT THIS MEDIA TOO. I WAS SO WRONG. BLOCKED INSTANTLY. #also im not even going to begin to tackle the casual whitegirl racism involved with the interests listed for this character. like idk people #loooove to be vaguely spiritual without respecting a single culture who actually does these practices. 😀. #but im so mad like. i cant even say shit like 'ummm think about this for a sec!!' because the OP clearly put tons of time and effort into #their insanely misogynistic post. multiple drawings lined and full colored. like. they thought about this and thought it was amazing. 😐 #anyway... ive noticed lately that a lot of people think misogyny is a dying bigotry or that its 'not as serious' as other forms of hatred? #but sexism is a very real systemic and individual issue. drawing cismenkissing.png doesnt auto-clear the sexism allegations 🫢 #anis gaymer moments #ok sorry for the long rant im done now i prommy

i think that baku is either a he/she icon or just transitioned between 2 and 3 given the pronoun inconsistency. either way good for her-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw2 #yw3 #every form of yo-kai watch media refers to baku with she/her pronouns except for 1 and 2 #even the medallium uses she/her. not really sure what that's about tbh- #idk how to feel about the medallium using gendered pronouns tbh it makes yo-kai being both individuals and species even more confusing- #makes sense for jibanyan n komasan n other such yo-kai but not for most of them that there are. definitely multiple of- #i have so many thoughts about the funni ghosts. the yoked guys

my only contribution to gideon chest wound disc horse is that it is very cool to see people draw and write abt a character i deeply love having a big ol' chest wound and/or scar. i think it's neat. my 2 cents.

#not personally into the whole woundfucking aspect of it but you do u ig. it's just very neat to see such a specific #physical characteristic that i have on my real physical body portrayed across multiple forms of media in a way that is.... #cool! sexy even!!! #trb.txt #tlt thoughts #it's like tm created a piece of media & character for me specifically to project on!!! i am having fun.

My favorite character tropes are shitty little gambling guys with hearts of gold, chaotic little guy who can be so sweet but is so destructive, and person on the path of vengeance. Neither heaven nor hell can stop them.

#if you've seen who my favorite characters across multiple forms of media are #you'll see exactly these tropes across them #sometimes the media even has more than one of these in there! :) #the ghost breakdancing beside you

I knew there was gonna be someone jumping on that CR post and going on about how “I’ve done the math and have concluded that $100 isn’t even that bad for an annual service fee-“

#the fact is #even if it’s annual that is still a lot of money to waste on a streaming platform #you have to take into account that you are not going to even be using the service all that much anyway as well #like unless you’re one of those people who can find the time to binge anime multiple times a week for a whole year and don’t mind then #whatver (even though you could just as easily pirate the shit. anime is one of the most accessible media forms in the world) #I accidentally got $40 bucks taken out of my account for pixiv because I forgot to cancel my free trial on time #and I needed that $40 man #the thought of spending $100’s of bucks on something that you could easily find on Google for free within seconds is #ridiculous to me personally #rambling #you can’t ‘well actually’ this kind of shit #outside of purchasing physical DVDs and so on #I remember the time when piracy was pretty much one of the only ways to watch anime back in the day #it’s just…. we’ve gotten to a point where there are people who don’t think it’s that big of a deal and that is what’s so upsetting to me #you shouldn’t be okay with any of this #these companies are getting over on people who don’t know any better or care enough
